THE STRATEGIC SHIFT. SECURE THE ASSET.
Bringing 21+ years of elite Southern and Northern California real estate experience and a relentless competitive drive to help high performers find absolute freedom in Summerlin, luxury enclaves of Las Vegas, and Henderson.
I moved to Southern California in the summer of 1995, just before my senior year of high school. As a lifelong indoor and beach volleyball player, my world revolved entirely around the sand. From age 4 to age 40, I trained, competed, and played on almost every court stretching down the California coastline. It was 100% my dream lifestyle, and it instilled in me a fierce, relentless drive to win.
When I transitioned into luxury real estate, I brought that exact competitive grit with me. Over a 21+ year career, I built a multi-million dollar business handling average home prices ranging from $4.5M to $8M+ across Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Orange County and The Bay Area’s most exclusive enclaves. I didn't just sell luxury property; I was deeply embedded in the L.A. economic and social ecosystem. I understood what luxury meant to an L.A. buyer: proximity to the water, the best neighborhoods, prestige, high-end construction, flawless craftsmanship, and aesthetic perfection.
In early 2025, my husband and I reached our personal breaking point. The compounding reality of political mismanagement of the State, rising property crime, severe homeowners insurance hurdles, and the visceral, exhausting stress of the January 2025 wildfires finally forced us to look at the math. We realized we were surrendering the nation's highest marginal tax bracket to underwrite an environment of visible decay, political corruption, and sky-high taxation without fair representation (or really anything valuable visibly done with our tax dollars).
We refused to let our hard-earned wealth and personal freedom and autonomy be held hostage by the bad policy of corrupt politicians in a corrupt state. We didn't want to slow down—we wanted to optimize. We meticulously evaluated Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Yet, nothing felt aligned with our standards until we drove into the pristine, master-planned landscape of Summerlin, Las Vegas. What we found wasn't a compromise at all—it was a massive step up for our lifestyle and our peace of mind because it gave us our personal freedom back—and made perfect financial sense.
For a long time, high earners accepted California’s sky-high taxes as a baseline "price of admission" for the weather and the “L.A. / Southern California lifestyle”. But over the last several years, the math stopped making sense.
WHEN THE MATH STOPPED MAKING SENSE
Why I Joined IS Luxury: Elevating the Standard
in Summerlin, Las Vegas, and Henderson
When my husband and I made the decision to establish our primary residency here in Las Vegas, I brought 21+ years of elite real estate experience with me. I chose to align my practice with IS LUXURY because I demanded a firm that matched the architectural sophistication, elite marketing, and flawless transactional precision that my clients expect.
IS LUXURY is a boutique luxury brokerage focused exclusively on luxury real estate and represents many of the highest-end homes in Southern Nevada. The firm has solidified its position as the No. 1 luxury brokerage in Las Vegas, earning widespread recognition for its innovative marketing, unparalleled service, and record-setting achievements and has sold close to $2 billion in luxury home sales over the past three years.
Hence, with IS LUXURY providing me the ability to represent my clients in the best way possible with in-house marketing, concierge services, and discreet representation for my ultra-high-net-worth clients, I'm able to give me clients a true white-glove experience.
With my background transitioning from California to Las Vegas, I don’t evaluate Summerlin, Henderson, and other luxury enclaves of Las Vegas through the eyes of a traditional local agent. I measure this inventory through the rigid, sophisticated lens of Bel Air, Brentwood, Manhattan Beach, and Newport Beach. I know the exact caliber of home you are accustomed to, and I know exactly how to secure it for you here in a state and a community that actually protects your lifestyle.
